Experiencing Interruptions?

The System

This visual artistic manifestation represents the monotony of daily life, and the confusion between life and existence in a world where it is often difficult to find one's place, given the endless and often anarchic cycle of the System. Filmed between Dakar, Ouagadougou and Conakry, this Afro-centric piece is a debut for the Burkinabe artist PanAfricus. English voiceover with French subtitles.
